WHAT a nightmare. Once again the Bank Holiday was wrecked for many people in Morecambe by the ear-splitting blast from the Festival of Light and Water in the resort.

Pitched at the highest volume, the music was then followed by window-rattling fireworks. The elderly and household pets must have been badly affected by the bombardment - all to be endured for a parade of sad acts that should have gone down with the Titanic.

I wonder, too what it will cost the hard-pressed council tax payer. This sorry event should be moved next year to an isolated field in Cumbria.
